The money raised will enable Canine Partners to continue its work in training assistance dogs to help transform the lives of people with physical disabilities, including wounded servicemen and women in conjunction with Help for Heroes, with tasks such as opening and closing doors, undressing, pressing buttons, retrieving items, unloading washing machines, taking card and cash from ATMs and other everyday tasks that disabled people find difficult, painful or impossible to do for themselves.

Julie Brewer, organiser of the walk, said: “Come along and enjoy our family-friendly Big Haywards Heath Walk and support a charity which really is life-changing.

“They do not receive any government funding and rely solely on donations so the money you raise will help create more canine partnerships, transforming the lives of disabled people.”

Tickets are £5 for adults and children under 16 are free. Tickets include refreshments and homemade cakes.
